> The only way up from nuclear is thermonuclear. Antimatter. Thankfully we have no idea how to make them yet.

  That isn't too far in the future. Using antimatter as a neutron source to prime a fission device is not total fantasy. With sufficient resources it could probably be done today on the bench (ie not a weapon). Such technology would allow for possibly very much smaller and/or more efficient fission weapons.

    Antimatter annihilation produces gamma, not neutrons. Priming a pure fusion device seems far more likely.
